Healing time for the Fighting Irish

Earlier this month, left-wing groups mau-mau-ed Texas GOP state rep. Betty Brown into apologizing for musing out loud about the bureaucratic difficulties associated with transliterated Asian-American names. Remember? Well, now comes news that another government shares Rep. Brown’s concerns and which — unlike Rep. Brown, who merely suggested that Texans of Asian descent consider changing [...]

Reader Kyle S. e-mailed me this weekend:
I’m a liberal who passes through your blog from time to time and although I disagree with you often (not always), I wanted to bring something to your attention that, though you might be aware of but I haven’t seen on your blog (sorry if I missed it), has [...]

If you want your kids to go to a university that teaches tolerance for dissent, respect for free speech, and the ability to debate ideological opponents without screaming at them and waving ferrets in their faces, do not — I repeat, do not — send them to the University of Massachussetts .

Speak for yourself.

Reparations.

Watch this excellent video from Andrew Marcus covering one of the most outrageous examples of P.C. on campus of the year.

It’s the PC time of year…

Reader Tara e-mails: “My daughter’s preschool teacher calls Indians/Native Americans ‘1st Americans.’ I guess that’s the NEW PC term. I just hope I’m not calling my kids ‘Last Americans!’”
On a related note, reader Becky e-mails:
Michelle,
Let me first say that I am married to a full Sioux, making my daughter half Sioux, and she [...]

Educational malpractice.

A school fight breaks out over dressing students as Pilgrims and Indians.

For those of you who have ever worked in a corporate environment and been subjected to mandatory sexual harrassment training:
Bill Whittle speaks truth to p.c. power.
Wait ’til you get to diversity training, Bill.
Oy!

Hell to pay.

All around the world, the same song.

Don’t call him a “black sheep.”

Beyond parody.

Lift every voice…

What’s in a name?

It’s “slavery” all over again.

“…accuses the Government of discriminating against the Christian Churches in favour of other faiths, including Islam.”

“You cannot have an honest conversation on the basis of fudge.”

No “gangs,” no problem.

Secularism run amok.

Don’t mention Tibet!

The vocabulary of the grievance-mongers.

Just when you think identity politics can’t parody itself any better (or worse), along comes a new set of race-mongers with an even more absurd set of grievances.
A story in today’s Washington Post reads like a lead story in The Onion (via HA Headlines):
When Barack Obama announced his candidacy for president last year, some observers [...]

Alienation.

Un-buried.
